Low elevation, about 1,240 feet
At roughly 1,240 feet there is no altitude adjustment for burners, ovens, or dish-machine water. Humidity and heat matter more, and we plan refrigeration and ventilation around them.

Kamiah, Idaho Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Kamiah lies in the narrow Clearwater River valley within the Nez Perce Indian Reservation. Its name is Nez Perce for many rope litters, and tradition holds the Appaloosa horse was first bred here. Lewis and Clark camped nearby for several weeks in 1806, and US 12 runs through town, joined by State Highways 64 and 162.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Kamiah site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Kamiah
January lows near 24°F
Winter nights regularly drop below freezing, with lows around 24°F. We check water-line protection and heater capacity for rentals through the cold months.
July highs near 92°F
Kamiah's July highs average about 92°F. That is a normal load for our equipment, but it is enough to expose an aging walk-in cooler, which is a common reason people call us.
Delivery from Boise
About 180 miles in a straight line from our Boise warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Kamiah
Nez Perce history visitors
Nez Perce National Historical Park spans 38 sites across four states, with 344,517 visitors in 2022, and US 12 passes through it. Tour groups, school trips, and heritage events in the Clearwater valley may need cooking and dishwashing capacity beyond what local kitchens offer.
Sawmill and timber shifts
A sawmill that employed 108 workers closed in late 2008 and reopened in August 2010 under new ownership, showing how timber work shapes the town. During plant restarts, shutdowns, or cafeteria outages, a mobile kitchen can keep shifts fed on site.
Hot river-valley summers
Mean daily highs reach about 93F in July. A walk-in cooler or freezer that fails in that heat at a restaurant, care home, or institution can quickly spoil stock, and an emergency refrigeration trailer can protect it while repairs are made.
- Nez Perce heritage tour group meals
- Sawmill shutdown and shift feeding
- Summer heat walk-in cooler replacement
Delivery from our Boise warehouse to Kamiah
We keep equipment in Boise, the Idaho capital, and plan every delivery from there. Kamiah is about 180 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Kamiah
US 12 runs through Kamiah and crosses the Clearwater River, with State Highway 162 meeting it in town. From Boise, take US 95 north over White Bird Hill, then US 12 east along the Clearwater. Winter snow and ice are possible; check Idaho 511.
If your project spans more than one site, Kooskia, about 6 miles from Kamiah, and Stites, about 10 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Nezperce at 10 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Hot river-valley summers (July highs near 93F) strain cold storage, and winter storms can slow repairs along US 12. 24/7 emergency deployment can bring a temporary kitchen or refrigeration trailer.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Which health district permits a kitchen trailer in Lewis County?
Idaho food licenses are handled through the local public health district, and requirements for mobile and temporary service vary by district. Contact the district that covers Lewis County and ask about plan review, water supply, wastewater, and inspections.
Can a trailer fit in the narrow river valley?
Space can be limited between the river and the hillsides. Measure your lot, check access from US 12, and send us photos and dimensions so we can confirm a level pad and turning room.
How fast can a trailer get to Kamiah if our kitchen is down?
Yes, around the clock. Phone (888) 385-5513, tell us what failed and where your Kamiah site is, and we check availability from our Boise warehouse and quote the delivery.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
